cutting torches
Flame-based steel cutters
Cutting torches are handheld tools that use a high-temperature flame—typically oxyacetylene—to cut through metal.
The flame heats the metal to ignition temperature, then a jet of pure oxygen burns through it.
Used in metalworking, demolition, and salvage operations: They used cutting torches to dismantle the old bridge.
The term appears figuratively for anything that cuts through obstacles with intense force.
